Order Description
I have attached all the relevant information. Please read through everything carefully as this assignment has a 40% weighting. Refer to uploaded instructions for the number of references and what kind of references you are meant to use. Make sure all references to health systems are in AUSTRALIA.
Students are expected to use the Case Study template to complete this case study. Students who do not use the template will receive a Zero F2 Grade. Please make sure you use the template and follow all instructions and marking criteria very carefully.
The purpose of this assignment is to explore the personal and social implications of mental illness, as well as, ethical, legal and clinical practice implications related to a mental health patient being admitted to a medical ward. Using a recovery and person-centred approach, explore the issues raised in the case study and how you can support this person during your early shift.
Case study
Students will be given a number of important documents related to this case study of a person who experiences a major mental illness. These documents will appear in the Learnonline Notice Board over the duration of the course. Students will need to access these documents in order to complete this case study.
Students are expected to use the Case Study template (available from the Learnonline environment) to complete this case study. Students who do not use the template will receive a Zero F2 Grade.
Please read the sections on the Case Study template and ensure that you answer all sections on the template.
Please also take note of the Marking guide for this assessment item as this will provide some additional guidance for students.
You will be expected to analyse these documents, extract the main issues and reflect on how the information impacts on the client, the family, the case manager and how it informs your nursing care and approach. You will have opportunity to discuss these documents in your tutorial sessions or in the Virtual Classroom.
Assignment Task
You are a newly registered nurse working in a large metropolitan hospital on an early shift in a busy medical ward. You have been allocated Sallyanne to care for her as a 1:1 special in a single bed side-room. You are given the following hand-over by the night duty RN.
Sallyanne is a 37 year old woman admitted yesterday post overdose of Sodium Valproate and Seroquel, and self inflicted lacerations to both wrists. Sallyanne has a diagnosis of Schizoaffective Disorder and is currently on an ITO-L1 which requires review today. Overnight Sallyanne has had a fluctuating sensorium ? has been occasionally drowsy, but at other times very restless and agitated. Her conversation has had a paranoid and delusional flavour at times. Sallyanne is confused and likely has a delirium related to the ingestion of prescribed medications.
Sallyanne has an intravenous line of normal saline 1 litre over 8 hours ? started 4 hours ago. Urinary catheter insitu which is draining well. The last ECG showed lengthening of Q-T interval and a repeat ECG is booked for 10:00 AM. TPR & BP are within normal limits ? for checking 4 hourly along with neurological observations until reviewed by treating medical team.
Sallyanne’s behaviour has not presented any significant management problems overnight in the ward. However she did present to the Emergency Department in a severely agitated state when a Code Black (Aggressive incident) was initiated. Because of her fluctuating sensorium she is to be considered at risk.
The self inflicted wounds to her wrists were sutured in ED, both wound sites are intact but there is some ooze from the left suture site; the dressing will need to be changed during the day. Sallyanne is not to be given any medication unless severely agitated. The Consultation-Liaison psychiatry team are aware of her admission to the medical ward and will review her later this morning. Over the next few hours it is likely that Sallyanne will become more alert and likely more distressed and agitated. You are advised to call for assistance if you have any concerns.
In a parting comment the night duty RN states that – “I do not know why we are wasting time on looking after people who want to kill themselves, there are plenty of sick people out there who need hospital beds”.
Following this handover you have the time to review Sallyanne’s admission notes where you will find a number of documents which highlight past and recent concerns.
(All of these documents can be found in the Learnonline Notice Board over the duration of the course).
1. Emergency Department Mental Health Assessment
2. Private Psychiatrist letter to Mental Health case manager
3. Letter from employer to Mental Health case manager
4. Letter from Mother to Mental Health case manager
5. Recent letter from identified client to Mental Health case manager
